Problem with Macbook Superdrive

Ender · 29 Oct 2007 at 11:43

Hey there, i have one of the old (10 months) Core 2 Duo Macbooks, and have noticed that when i put a cd in the superdrive it makes a horrible grinding, mechanical noise- which sometimes results in the disk not being read.

I bought this laptop in the USA while i was there, but will it still be covered on the warranty now ? If so would it be likely that they would repair my laptop or replace it?

The warranty is worldwide. Sounds like any damage is limited to the drive, so it would probably be replaced and you get the same machine back from Apple. No real need to replace the whole system!

Mine's very noisy, is that normal? (Just when loading, it's fine after then)

not usually normal, mine only makes a noise when it takes a disc or ejects it.
and thats about minimal anyway.

Mine makes a racket when it's taking the disc in, including a clunk at one point. Don't want to have to complain about it, they might take it away from me for a while

How long do repairs take?

mine did the exact thing, go to your nearest apple service centre and have it replaced
